Within your heart
Keep one still, secret spot
Where dreams may go,
And sheltered so,
May thrive and grow --
Where doubt and fear are not.
Oh, keep a place apart
Within your heart,
For little dreams to go.
from This Place I Know: Poems of Comfort
selected by Georgia Heard
Candlewick Press, 2002
These ideas are jumping off places for conversations to begin. Not all these roles need be used each time the group meets.
